Subject: printing from pine

We have several Pine users.  As far as I know all, except one, are having
no problems.  THE ONE, however, is driving me crazy.

The problem is that when she prints the message, depending on the
printer, the prin is so small you can't read it, or so big it can't fit on
the page. She has no probems with other printing jobs, just from Pine.

I've tried changing printers, no difference.

I've tried changing the printer setups, nothing.

To further confuse me, she is able to print from the Net, using Netscape.

Thanks for any suggestions.

I'd the same problem. After some experiences, only "raw-printing" was
possible (without some print-filter, no layout, mismatching of any special
latin-1-chars).
Now I've setup my own - working fine - printer:

Enter name ...:             MyPrinterName
Enter command for printer:
cat $1 > /tmp/tmp1 && lpr -Pyour_printer /tmp/tmp1 && rm /tmp/tmp1
                      ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ this didn't work in pine as
"Standard UNIX print command" (why?... I don't know)

Hope, it was an usefull hit.
